New Chapter: Preparing Applications

Download the lastest chapter from The Definitive Guide® to Vista Migration!

Application or software management is one of the most challenging activities related to PC management and migration. Application incompatibilities, application conflicts, application installations, application delivery, application license management, and application retirement are only a few of the issues you must master if you want to be in complete control of your desktop and mobile network. As you might expect, the focus of this chapter is to help you make sense once and for all of how to prepare, distribute, manage, and control applications in your network.

This chapter will provide a roadmap for implementing service-oriented management by examining four topics: 1) Limits of traditional management models in light of emerging challenges in systems management, 2) Current status of IT operations, 3) Transition to mature service model, and 4) Implementation of a service model for systems management.

Listen to the newest podcast from The Realtime Windows Server Community!

If a picture is worth a thousand words and video comes in at 30 frames a second, then is a second of video worth 30,000 words? If those words are in a log file, then potentially yes.

In this podcast, we talk with Cassandra Cranston and Claudio Rodrigues of CNS Software. We discuss the need for video recording for certain industries as well as the technology behind this interesting and useful new method for Terminal Server and Citrix monitoring.
